150 TUESDAY MARCH 14. 1967 By report dated March 13, 1967, the City Planning Commission advised Council that Mr. Patrick H. Fussell's recent (February 14th) request for permission to extend the Cityfs (water and sewer) utilities into a subdivision known as "Vernon Hills Estate", off Spruce Street Extended and in Henry County, meets the design standards as established in the Subdivision Ordinance for subdivisions inside the City. The Commission, furthermore, submitted the following recommendations: 1. That Council require the establishment of covenants on the property which would in effect zone the property as "R-9 Residential" inasmuch as the property in question is contiguous to "R-9 Re sidential" zoning within the City; and 2. That Council require the developer to conform to the City's Building Code and other applicable ordinances. Council unanimously accepted the Commission's report and recommendations. Mr. J. H. Baldwin, on behalf of Dr. D. O. Baldwin and the Baldwin Development Company, appeared before Council and requested that property identified as the "Coleman" property on Fayette Street be rezoned to an appropriate industrial classification to permit the location and operation of a textile industry at said location. Council referred this request to the Planning Commission for its consideration and recommendation. Council also referred to the Planning Commission an application from the Martinsville Volunteer Fire Company (Mr. Robert L. Draper, Chairman of its Bazaar Committee) for a special-use permit (under item "9" of Paragraph "C" of Section VIII of the Zoning Ordinance) to conduct the Volunteer Fire Company's 1967 (June 26th-July 1st) Bazaar at Brown Street Field.
